1.-THE WALKING DELEGATE. The de-
cisions of the courts all tend to establish a
wholesome doctrine that the walking dele
gate will have to walk the plank. Let us
have ii we'll understood that any man who
comes forward and tries to picket the busi-
ness of another man, with whom he has had
no previous relations of any kind, seeking
to cut off his patronage, annoy his laborers,
or destroy his business by any means, rem.
ders himself liable to be assessed in damages
corresponding to the injury inficted-and
we shsl have fewer cases of labor disputes.
The decision of Judge Brown at New York,
holding that Quinn and his associates must
stand suit for the damage they had done to
the Old Dominion Steamship Company. is
of wide application. Some communities IN
Massachusetts have been visited by the
walking delegates SIS with a pestilence.

REPORT ON FOREIGN MISSIONS.

The undersigned, Committee appointed
at the last session Nf the Universalist Gener-
al Convention, respectfully submit the fol
lowing report:
proposed exten1ion of the Missionary
work of our church, mot alone at home and
among Christians. but into heather lands, -
ia the general subjeoJ referred to us; and the
special scope of enquiry, as indicated by the
terms of our appointment, requires as to con
slider this subject with respect alike to its
adyisahility, its methods, and the fields most
favorable to the enterprise"
The conditions and limitations under which
the life of our Church has been fostered and
its work carried forward have not been IA
vorable to missionary undertakings in die
tant regions. At the iirst aud for long time
the Uniyersalist Church had to eight for its
very life. To gain and hold u position among
the organized forces of the Christian world
required the use of al means available; and
in the doing of such work our fathers wrought
under an impulse charged with the true mis-

whole army of the Puritane. These have
protested against incidental and exterior
errors. Universalism has a distinctive
honor, as it has protested against the es-
sential error-the heathenism of wrath
full and vindictive God. All else is minor,
almost trivial, as compared to the great
movement which now rescues the eternal
love from most foul and soul-destroy-
ing misrepresentation No other word rem
dered by any movement or by any body
of reformers bears any comparison to
thie. Other protestents have made de.
mails and augmentation, but they have
aimed at incidental evils. Universalism
has asserted, and has succeeded in what
it undertook in offering the central truth
OF the gospel. It is well to affirm
that God is, and it is more to make
clear and unmistakeable what he ie.
It is conceded that in one regard there
has. been at least the appearance Of fail
ure. 1t has not organized itself with the
thoroughness and efficiency which we
may have been an escape. Organiza-
ton effected when thought is crude may,
in larger development, hamper the free
evolution into higher growth Yet the
work Of organization is going on.
2. Again Universalism is the only re.
ligion that adequately adjusts faith to
knowledge; that SO, presents faith that
men trained to habits of prayer can,
without self-abasement, assent to it. The
time is near however, when faith has
to consider not only the needs of cloister-
ed monks. The scientific temper demands
that faith shall not offer rewards which
are exacting. Universalism has the merit
of this achievement.
3. Universalism has another and pecu-
liar, and very great merit, it has render
ed the genuine missionary service. Other
forms of faith have had great missionary
movements. Uniyersalism from the first
until the present is a missionary move
ment. OF course in the whole scheme of
missionary enterprises TO save souls from
the infinite wrath of God, Universalism
has borne no part. That form Of enter
prise is, at this date, virtually effete. The
debates at Springfield are OF the long
past They are sepulchTal. They teach
no doctrines with which Universalists can
sympathize. Are we to harbarize the gos-
pei? No! We are to comfort the sor-
rowing, strengthen the weak, and give
courage to the doubling. This is mis-
sionary work. Universalism has done
this as no other form of faith has ever at
tempted to do it. Its whole career, whole
hiatoEy. its Whols aehieys- is mission.
ary work In the Christian meaning OF
the word
The final word was one of cheer, of ex-
hortation, of encouragement. We are to
be true to the duty of the present, and
not to dissipate our strength in anxious
endeavors to take care of the future. We
are simply to be the messengers of the
Spirit

CHICAGO AND CINCINNATI, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1887

Even science is coming to recognize
that there is something which is not
matter. MateTialism is rapidly giving
place to spiritism. In our investiga-
tiOns we come to something that is not
matter. We reverently call that some
thing Again, true hope is soul
elevating; and what is more beautiful
than charity, or love. Seeing these we
find the beauty of the Lord.
This is only very meager outline of a
very thoughtful and profitable discourse,
abounding in illustrations which we
cannot report. The sermon closed with
the description of painting which the
artist had left unfinished, at first
source of mystery with the eager eyes
of the central persOnages fixed upon
some unseen object. The mystery was
disclosed when it was found that the
face of Christ was to occupy the unfin-
ished portion of the picture. AS we
look to him,-the Christ that is ever re-
vealing and never fully seen,-the
Christ that is continually born for hu-
manity, we find that mysteries disap-
pear and a new spirit of divine harmony
comes into our lives.
At the close Of the service, many of
the West Eleventh street people crowd
ed forward to greet their Old pastor;
DR.. Sweetser and Rev. Mr.. Illman were
also warmly greeted. The first service
of the Convention was very pleasant
and cheerful meeting. Let us trust a
happy fOretaste of the larger meetings
to come during the New York session
of 1887.

Report on Profession of Faith.

Rev @. W. Tomlinson, d. D., read the
report of the committee appointed two
years ago ON the proposed change IN the
Winchester Profession of Belief. This
committee consists of Reys. DR.. Tomlin-
son, Swee er and Ryder. On motion it
was made the special order for Thursday
afternoon.

Of faith proposed by the committee ap-
pear in other parts of this report, in con-
nection with the discussion on the same.
Communication from Glasgow, Scotland.
was read by the Chairman of the Com
mittee on elections, Charles Caverly. 1t
requested that Rev. j. W. Hanson, d. D.
lately the missionary of the Women's
Centenary Association in Glasgow, be
admitted as an honorary delegate to rep
resent ST. PauPs Univerealist parish of
that city. Gen. Arnold, of Rhode island
asked, "What is an honorary delegate
in this body?" John d. W. Joy, of Mass
achusetts, expressed the opinion that the
Convention settled the question of hon
orary members at Akron last year. The
Convention is a corporation; it cannot
according to it's laws, recognize honorary
delegates DR. Ryder, of Illinois, spoke
earnestly in favor of extending the cour-
tesy of the Convention to Dr.. Hanson.
He represented the only foreign organic
alton of Universaliste. Now when our
faces are turned in the direction of for
eign missions we must not shut the door
against the Scottish UniVersslists in the
person of the returned missionary from
Glasgow. Dr.. Capen responded that the
Convention did not shut the door; it must
respect its own laws. He then moved that
the courtesy OF the Convention be extend
ed to DIR. Hanson, and that he be invited
at some convenient time during the ses-
sion to address the Convention in regard
to the Glasgow church.

THE SURPLUS.

Washington dispatches say there
will be no revenue reduction by this
congress, and the free traders are
bowling. A reduction of revenue is
not very badly wanted we should sur
mise, with Ingalls, twisting the tail of
the British lion until he howls. A
little of the surplus revenue might
possibly be utilized to good advantage
in putting our coast in somewhat
better condition in the shape of de-
lenses. Another good way to dispose
of any surplus III excess of storage
capacities at the treasury department
would be to pass some of the many
pension bills now pending or awaiting
the signature of the president. There
are now many men who carried arms
in defense of the union living at the
expense of charity other than that of
the national government. This is a
national disgrace, and if the senators
and congressman would pass some
measure pensioning every ex-soldier
who has a clear record, and who has
become incapacitated to earn living,
no matter from what cause, they
would be doing about the right thing.
Why should our government be more
ungrateful than the monarchical gov
lernments of the old world, or even
some of our larger and best mercantile
corporations. The New York Herald
pensions it's old employees when they
become incapacitated for labor. Why
should not the greatest and most pow.
erful and wealthiest nation in the
world do likewise.

The funeral of Miss Williams,
daughter of j. L. Williams of this city,
whose melancholy death took place
at Usage City on Saturday last, took
place Monday at 10 a. m. The
remains were laid to rest at Maple
wood cemetery.
Miss Williams left here on Saturday
on the first train for Usage City, on a
visit to her sister in her usual health
and spirits, remaining in the depot un-
til the arrival of the Cannonball, by
which train she was killed. It has
been currently reported that it was q
case of self destruction, but as no
cause can be assigned for the rash
act and many circumstances connected
with the case, which goes TO show that
it is extremely doubtful if death was
caused by suicide or accident. It was
very slippery at the time on the plat
form and it is very probable that she
might have slipped and fell under the
train. 1t also seems strange that she
should go from here to Usage City to
do away with her life when no cause
can be given for the act. The affair
has caused considerable grief to her
family and acquaintance, as she was
highly esteemed by all who knew her.
